    You guys realize every time you retake it, it becomes less and less accurate; right?

    That would explain the shift to more moderate anarchism.

    Depends if a lot of time has passed between tests. If they just retook it immediately because they don't like it then yeah probably.

    Yes it is the alexander expansion. But I have played all the AoE's and while some fun it didn't really take a single neuron in my brain to compute how to win at that game XD

    *rolls eyes*

    If it didn't take a single neuron to master hotkey 200 pop limit armies micro with siege weapon dodging and defensive lines, raids, and microing econ, then you either never played or you lost every game :D

    Maybe your thinking of starcraft, because if AoE wasn't hopelessly unbalanced and lacking major features of a competitive RTS I really am missing out.

    Ayn Rand libertarian. But I´m not an anarchist. I´m what is called (in a more specificated way) a minarchist. Minarchism defends that the state should be minimal and it´s primary and only functions should be to protect the individuals from crimes and to defend and expand the rights of the individual. That is why I also defend abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, legalization of all drugs,the right to possess weapons, etc.

    The ideas of libertarian socialism of Proudhon may sound good, but humans by nature don´t work well in a collectivized society. A collectivist society can only be imposed by force. Proudhon believed that violence is not the way, but the collectivized stateless society that he believed could be achieved trougth pacific means, cannot be reached that way.

    Proudhon, like all Social Anarchists , advocated the general strike as the means of revolution. While me, like all other Anarchists Without Adjectives, advocate action from the above listed general strike to civil action and civil disobedience to the occasional smashing of windows.

    And I do agree that the rights of the individual are of the utmost importance, but as I have heard it put before:
    "The flower may be what catches the eye, but it is nothing without the stem that supports it."
